Skills
- Financial modeling: highly proficient in Excel; able to build and maintain cap table models, dilution analyses, IRR analyses, and scenario models independently.
- Presentation quality: high bar for investor and Board materials — design sensibility, narrative clarity, and the ability to translate complex financials into a clean story.
- Capital markets tools: proficient with S&P Capital IQ, Bloomberg, or SNL; able to conduct independent comps and market research.

Attributes
